Political correctness is mad and censors white men? Declare yourselves black

The unbelievable story of the writer rejected by publishers. He presents himself as a "genderqueer Nigerian" and suddenly gets published. These white Zulus have taken over our culture

It began with Saul Bellow, the great Canadian Jewish writer. In 1994, in the New York Times, Bellow tore apart the now-dominant literary Third-Worldism, which claims that the Papuans didn’t have a Proust and the Zulus no Tolstoy. “Should the White House then issue a ‘fatwa’ and put a bounty on my head for blasphemy against culture?” Bellow wrote. “My critics, many of whom cannot even point to Papua New Guinea on a map, want to condemn me for blasphemy against multiculturalism. I’m an old white Jewish male—perfect for their purposes.”

Then came The Human Stain by Philip Roth (later made into a film with Anthony Hopkins). It tells the story of Coleman Silk, a professor of classical literature at Athena, who is attacked by colleagues and indignantly resigns over a phrase misunderstood as racist. Silk, who had hidden his African-American identity and passed as white to succeed.

Philip Roth mocked the rising political correctness, which, as René de Ceccatty—French translator of many Italian authors from Dante to Pasolini—put it, “makes people lose their minds.”

Now we find out that The Human Stain is no longer fiction. As the great Spanish novelist Javier Marías wrote, “Racism against whites is considered good and praiseworthy. What stupid times!”
